A look at the present plight and future shape of town and country.
3: Motorways, Hypermarkets and All That
The third of five programmes on the conservation of energy. Most of the large public projects of the last few years entailed the aid of vast amounts of energy. Others, like some new towns or hypermarkets, are economically based on a fast-expanding use of the private car. Must we now revise our assumptions and seek to change over to different patterns of living and travelling?

Environment Correspondent of the Observer, in conversation with: TERENCE RENDIXSON. planning writer and consultant; WALTER BOR , planner of Liverpool and Milton Keynes ; GERALD FOLEY , Energy and Physical Planning Research Group; DAVID HALL , director. Town and Country Planning Association; MIKE HARRIS. Operations Manager, Transport 2000.
